I decided to learn Swahili before my next safari vacation to East Africa. Was it worth it?

|
By Emma Gregg
| Adventure.com
When preparing for her latest visit to Kenya and Tanzania, travel writer and Afrophile Emma Gregg took a crash course in Swahili. What difference does learning a language—or a few words of it—make to a trip? I have a glowing memory of a family holiday in France when I learned my first few words of French. It was just enough to say hello and buy a newspaper, baguettes and ice cream—but I was tiny, and felt triumphant.

10 evropských ostrovů, kde si odpočinete nejvíc: jeden z nich slibuje i delší život

Geotermální laguny na Islandu. Skok ze sauny do ledového moře na norském ostrově Senja. Sopečné prameny probublávající skálou a pískem na Ischii a Nisyru. Evropské ostrovy nabízejí wellness v jeho nejpůvodnější a nejpůsobivější podobě. Na Azorech přerušují atlantické treky kráterová jezera a teplé přílivové tůně; na jiných místech – na větrem ošlehaném ostrově Iona nebo zalesněném Saaremaa – nepřichází obnova sil z tepla, nýbrž z osvěžující vody, čistého vzduchu a kontemplativní krajiny.

Why Madeira is the Atlantic escape your nervous system needs Original

By Emma Gregg
| National Geographic Traveler
This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). On a mild winter afternoon, a blackbird’s dusk call threads through the trees around my hotel, Quinta da Casa Branca. Though close to the centre of Funchal — Madeira’s characterful, south-facing capital — this place feels gently removed from it all, a shaded haven where time loosens its grip.

What it's like to go on a bushwalk in the Kalahari desert Original

|
By Emma Gregg
| National Geographic Traveler
This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). On an African safari, it’s good to adjust your viewpoint from time to time. As your impressions shift, the experience deepens. Wildlife-watching from the deck of a lodge or the back of a safari vehicle can be exciting and inspiring, but that’s nothing compared to the thrill of taking the front seat or, even better, exploring a nature reserve on foot.

Forget safaris: Why it’s time for tourism to end the Disneyfication of Africa

|
By Lebawit Lily Girma , Emma Gregg, Meera Dattani , Summer Rylander

Africa is more than a vast savannah full of animals, tribes and luxury lodges.

Tamara Hinson takes a closer look at the evolution of Peru’s national drink. I’ve got a confession: I love Peru, but I’m not a huge fan of the pisco sour. But it’s not that I’ve become a pisco snob.

As the tide laps gently against the worn rock-face, two pairs of small feet tramp across the sandstone. One foot slips and the other follows down into a hidden crevice, before recovering balance and continuing on to catch the other pair. Along the wide tidal platform, at foot-level, pools of water grace the shoreline. These tide pools, fueled by the Pacific just a few footsteps away, are home to crabs, seaweeds, and other invertebrates.

But how much did lockdown really impact air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions? And did animals actually move back into cities?
